I posted the same question on the S8+ forum:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/s8-exynos-5-ghz-option-hotspot-t3675821
My Exynos S8+ SM-G955F doesn't offer this option for selection, only 2.4 GHz.
I suspect the 5 GHz option for hotspot is only available on the Snapdragon version...

Just curious to know if the situation remains the same also on the Note 8 firmware.

Well, your SM-N950U1 should be the Snapdragon version.
Now let's see if also the international Exynos version has the band selection option.

Oh my bad I thought you wanted to know for note 8 in general but I reread your post and see you're asking for the exynos model

I'm on the Korean Exynos N950N and I have it.
Actually both the posts were useful, so now I know that this option can be available both on Snapdragon and Exynos version.
It looks like that there is no limitation in the Exynos SOC itself, it's apparently a Samsung decision to show or hide this option in the regional firmwares.
Hi guys,
Just found this old thread while searching in Google for a similar question. I have the Note 8 too, Exynos version (SM-N950F) and, as seems by the previous post, Exynos also allows to broadcast the hotspot at 5.0 GHz, so it might be a firmware limitation.
Do you know if there is any specific ROM, CSC, tweak; anything that would give me that option to use the hotspot at 5.0 GHz? I have found this post by @phatWares mentioning a quite old tool by Wanam. Can anybody confirm this still would work? I ask because I'm fully on stock on my Note, so I'd like to have some assurance before tripping Know, flashing ROM, etc.
Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide.
I had the same question and did some research.
It seems there is a new EU directive that restricts the use of 5ghz frequencies for mobile hotspots and this is why we are running into this issue (has to do with interference with police radars and such).
Logically one way to circumvent this limitation is to change CSC to a country that does not have such limitation.
I am outside the EU and I have a EU phone with British firmware and CSC, I have yet to find a proper CSC to switch to.

Thanks for your reply aljazzair. I'm also outside of the EU and US, but I think my phone is (SM-N950F) is an international unlocked version; I don't know what that is supposed to comply to.
Are you rooted? Have you tried the tool that I've mentioned in my previous post from Wanam? It seems to be a CSC Editor that allows you to enabled the 5.0 GHz option with a checkbox.

Hi,
My phone is not rooted. Like you, I have a SM-N950F (european unlocked).
.
I did change the CSC on my phone successfully once, it was a couple of weeks ago.
.
The reason was that I was on a TUR CSC due to an OTA update whilst in Turkey with a Turkish SIM on a TIM phone which had XFE firmware.
.
I was annoyed by the resulting samsung software notifications in Turkish, which is a language I do not understand, so I wanted them gone.
.
My CSC is now BTU/BTU/TIM.
.
The procedure I used involves using odin to flash what is called a "combination rom".
The combination rom essentially replaces the stock rom with samsung software used by samsung support engineering staff for diagnosis and repair.
.
It is critical to only flash a combination ROM that is compatible with your bootloader version.
.
I had the DSG1 stock ROM with the latest bootloader when I flashed the combination ROM, so the version I used is:
.
COMBINATION_FA71_N950FXXU7ASG1_CL12991683_QB24738638_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar.md5
.
There is a seemingly cumbersome procedure to follow involving Odin, several factory resets and reflashing multiple times, and it worked flawlessly for me.
It is described here:
.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74324845&postcount=87
.
I would re-use this procedure again without hesitation.
.
But I have yet to find a CSC code that would allow 5ghz hotspot capabilities (so non-EU) whilst retaining Samsung Pay and avoiding software notifications in a language I do not understand
.
If you know of such a CSC code, pls share
Perhaps somebody that tried that Wanam application to edit the CSC could confirm? That might be worth rooting for

My dad got me a Note 9 from the middle east (exynos, dual sim). Its Active CSC is KSA. I live in Canada and have been using it without any issues for the past few months. I was also able to recently update it to Pie since KSA is part of the OXM multi-csc.
I don't see an option for WiFi Calling, don't have VoLTE, and can't use Samsung Pay. I've been reading around for a few months now trying to wrap my head around all things Samsung (since this is my first Samsung phone...). I understand that this is due to my phone having KSA as the active CSC and being used in Canada? My provider (Rogers) has confirmed that they have WiFi calling activated on my line.
I was hoping someone could point me the right direction if there is any solution to this? There is no dual-sim version in Canada so I assume flashing some other Canadian firmware won't work (as it would be for a single-sim model).
Change CSC in THL. Follow the guide carefully:

Thanks for the information. I'm wondering what CSC am I changing the phone? Canada is not part of the OXM Multi-CSC? The Canadian versions are also single-sim not DS. Can I use the method to change the CSC to a Canadian carrier's CSC and then still flash the Multi-CSC firmware?
You have Note 9 exynos variant, so you have nothing to lose . Because you will be in the same situation as the first time when you put the sim. If you change CSC ( THL) you will have wificall and volte and native call recording. That's what I did. The only difference is the sim , and I do not think it influences anything.
Dial *#1234# to find current firmware details.
ATTENTION! : after installing PIE Do NOT start the first setup with SIM. It changed the CSC back with sim!!!

Ok - So I went through the process. I used RealTerm and changed the CSC to XAC (Canada, unbranded). Note that this is not part of the OXM Multi-CSC. After everything was done, the phone defaulted to XEU (United Kingdom). Trying the method again with SIM card inserted before restart didn't change this outcome. However, this whole time I was using the XSG (UAE) firmware to update the phone.
I will now try again with the THL firmware and hope that it works!
I'm assuming Samsung Pay will still be unavailable?
Samsung Pay will be available for unroot knox= 0x0! And Caller ID and spam protection.
Thanks for all your help so far. Things that I've learned so far:
1) Changing the CSC through the method you shared didn't really work when it was outside of the OXM Multi-CSC. For example, I tried changing CSC to RWC (Rogers, Canada) or XAC (Canada, Unbranded). When I did this and flashed any of the latest SM-N960F firmware (whether XSG, DBT, or THL) -- the device would default to XEU (United Kingdom). I'm assuming this is happening because the manually set Canadian CSC doesn't exist within the OXM multi-csc.
2) I tested this out by setting the CSC to THL and flashing the THL firmware. This time it did indeed change to THL firmware. Unfortunately, things like WiFi Calling and VoLTE were still not available. Samsung Pay worked - but didn't let me add any Canadian cards.
Rooting is obviously not an option on this phone due to tripping knox. Maybe sometime down the road someone can figure it out.
Or you can try to change for SM-N960W model.

SM-960W is the Snapdragon single-sim variant. I feel worst case it will fry the phone. Best case, I'll lose the dual-sim capability..
Have u tried installing the Canadian csc going into recovery wiping cache and then doing a reset from there? Then reboot with your Canadian sim only installed (no other sim or second sim if dual). Usually this triggers the correct csc code

Seems like the only way to do that would be to root the device since there is no SM-N960F in Canada -- only SM-N960W. So all the Canadian firmware is for SM-N960F. My understanding is that I would have to root the device and then change the CSC based on this discussion:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...960n-n960u-n960u1-n960w-n9600-t3833721/page18
If I follow the method explained earlier by changing CSC with RealTerm -- the device rejects the the Canadian CSC (e.g. XAC or RWC) and defaults to XEU (which is part of the OXM mutli-csc).
you can't flash a different model firmware with odin
I did it and works for me volte is working again, it dosen´t matter the firmware you flash, you must change csc code, follow the link and you can change it, its´´s so easy

Wow what a strange phone indeed:
https://whatismyphone.com/vendors/docomo/galaxy-note-9-sc-01l
its a snapdragon. SO no idea if its anything like the n9600 or the american n960u
in both cases, i dont think you will be able to simply flash with odin any other csc firmware.
if you can root it(if it is like the n9600) then you could probably get the csc file on there manually. thats whay i do with my korean N960n , i put canadian carrier files on it manualy.
anyways good luck! (you'll be needing it..lol)

I've tried to flash US unbranded N960U1 (XAA) firmware on my SC-01L (Docomo) using modded/patched Odin and It will just fail.
However, I did manage to flash SCV40 (AU KDDI) firmware on my SC-01L (Docomo) without any issues. It's less bloatware compared to Docomo's Firmware maybe?
No issues with the modem, can make calls and SMS. APN auto-detected and able to use NFC.
Hope this helps!

On your screen from your first screenshot scroll down a bit and you'll should see the 3 csc/csc/csc code. Eg XAA/XAA/SPR....
Assuming you have an international sim card in phone:
The last csc code in that group is the phone's Carrier (like AT&T, T-mobile and Sprint).
Then go to Sammobile.com/firmware and look for:
SM-N950U

Hi,
I recently purchased a G9980 from Asia and received the BRI CSC version.
I've tried a 5g Giffgaff SIM in slot 1 and 2 and can't get 5g in a 5g area.
I've done a bit of research that says that there are 5g problems with the BRI version in Europe, but the listed problems seem to be mostly about 5g not being listed in the network options 2g/3g/4g/5g etc which is present in this version so not sure if changing the CSC will fix that.
Can anyone shed any light before I go down the samkey route to changing to TGY as to whether this will work?
Thanks in advance

Changing CSC is NOT possible with Samkey for G9980. You'll have to use ODIN to flash the CSC.

Although reading in the S20 forum the same thing was said about the S20 that the firmware was the same just needed to swap the CSC in samkey Here so maybe it's the same for S21 ultra?

Sorry I struggle to navigate the XDA website on mobile. The layout is not great. So I didn't see all your post but now that I have read it, it seems to be exactly what I need! I'll try it when I get home later and I can concentrate on not messing it up and can check the band's I need. I'll report back layer. Thanks again!

On HK variant, no need to change CSC if you just want to enable some 5G bands and make 5G work. Did you already try methods on the link I shared specially the "Remove NR Whitelisting" one?

The speed depends on your location and network.
Thank you.
So do I gain anything from changing to TGY which seems to be universally recommended over BRI? Faster updates? Less bloatware? Anything else?
Hi,
I got a Samsung Galaxy S10 Exynos (SM-G973N), a Korean version. I am not in Korea and don't have Korean SIM so I can't use the phone (SIM card are not recognized).
I need some help to convert it to an international version, preferably an Android 11 version if possible. Current baseband is G973NKOU6FUF3.
Regards.
Hi, did you try to flash the firmware from your country/region? Just download the firmware with Frija if you are on Windows or samload if you are using Linux/Mac and flash with Odin. It's worth a try, cause the phone is basically the same of your country. Obviously since you are flashing a different region, you have to use CSC_OXM_XXXX and not the HOME_CSC_XXXXX. if it sounds confusing you can look at this topic here. Remember to use Smart Switch to backup all your files and apps.
Hi @Cobmaster, No I am actually worried about which firmware to download. The phone is originally from Korea. I don't want the Korean version, as it comes with apps and pre-loaded content in Korean. I would like a more global version. Can I use one from another country like the UK?
Thank you for your help. I used Frija to download the SKC and KOO firmwares.
Ps: For this model there are only Korean different Korean firmwares.
@koutei . I think you can safely download a UK or whatever you prefer, no problem at all.

It's weird. I need more info. Are you using a virtual machine? Which version of Windows? Are you using the stock cable?

No VM. Windows 10. No, I am not because it jiggles and disconnects the phone.
Hi, did you managed to accomplish this? I've searched for days and tried several methods to no avail. I'm starting to think that it is not achievable. If any expert would confirm this, I guess I will abandon the idea . Thanks in advance
I'm also searching did you succeed this convert?

I found a reply from a user "billa" on another thread while searching for a way to flash a Global USA Note10+ from an AT&T carrier Note 10+ (Which was successfully done). Below was his/her reply. (I edited the first paragraph and included the modded Odin sourced from a YouTube video.)
You will need to use modded/patched Odin that has the model-ID and SHA hash check disabled, therefore allowing you to flash an unbranded "U1" firmware onto a branded "U" phone and vice versa.
As of now this works on most US Qualcom (QC) models, but an increasing number of international Exynos (EX) models now include a new RMM security which prevents this kind of cross-flashing unless you first disable the RMM, by flashing an RMM-Disabler package through TWRP.
Hope this helps!
